Heart Attack American Lyrics
I'm done telling you that I'm in love
What I have will never be enough
Come on baby go live life on your own
Everything inside is breaking down
And you don't wanna be hanging around
I don't think I want to leave myself alone
I'm done having to apologize
I'm done living inside your eyes
When the lights go out what's left to know
Nothing ever makes sense to me
A broken branch of the family tree
Kill the lights now baby watch me explode
There is no revolution
And I'm done doing things I don't wanna do
There is no restitution
And I'm done
I'm done living in this decline
I'm done watching you redesign
Come on baby let's go walk out the door
I'm done showing up to fucking work
Taking orders from a fucking bitch
I'm in the chair now go ahead and flip the switch!
I'm done doing things I don't wanna do
I'm sick and tired of setting up to be like you
Fucked up, thrown out, and overdue
I'm fucking done
There is no revolution
There is no revolution
There is no revolution
What I have will never be enough
Come on baby go live life on your own
Everything inside is breaking down
And you don't wanna be hanging around
I don't think I want to leave myself alone
I'm done living inside your eyes
When the lights go out what's left to know
A broken branch of the family tree
Kill the lights now baby watch me explode
And I'm done doing things I don't wanna do
There is no restitution
And I'm done
I'm done watching you redesign
Come on baby let's go walk out the door
Taking orders from a fucking bitch
I'm in the chair now go ahead and flip the switch!
I'm sick and tired of setting up to be like you
Fucked up, thrown out, and overdue
I'm fucking done
There is no revolution
There is no revolution

I think this is just general fuck you to people who want you to be something you don't want to be.
Well its a cliche but i cant beilive no ones posted anyrthing on here these guys are fantastic...in state of time where the only punk the U.S and U.K can cough up are bands that resemble Busted and good charlotte the bronx burst on the scene with this old school anti-flag sounding harcdore album that blows you away please buy there album and support them. Neway with that said I think this song is writrten in the sense of a failing relationship but if you search further it may be bout sumthin entirely different these guys come from a place where gang killings happen once a day so it may be bout leaving LOs Angelis but thats just a hunch.....ne1 else got a clue?
I bought thier cd, these guys are a great, strobe life is my favourite but i like them all, im not quite sure what the song is about, i havent sat down and focused on the lyrics long enough yet....
I interpret it as being about his parents. Mother or father, it's not really specific. He doesn't want to grow up to be like them, and is tired of constantly living in their shadow (or lack thereof). Also about moving out, getting away and creating your own life, "let's go walk out the door", "broken branch on the family tree". Definitely about parents. Very teen angsty, but avoids being juvenile about it. Impressive as fuckin hell. If you haven't seen this band live, go do it RIGHT NOW.
Wow. These guys are awesome. I'm shocked that they don't have many comments.
I think in this song he's talking about a relationship. It sounds like he's fed up with her and trying to be what she wants him to be "I'm done having to apologize/ I'm done living inside your eyes" but at the same time he doesn't want to be alone and maybe the reason he's sick of trying to be what she wants him to be is because he CAN'T be what she wants him to be "what I have will never be enough come on baby go live life on your own everything inside is breaking down and you don't want to be hanging around I don't think I want to leave myself alone"
This song is great. Lots of emotion. I want to buy the album
OOH MY GOD!! this is so fucking great..
I think it's about the parents theory thing...
It's SO obviously about defiance. Your "parents" theory is shot to Hell, upon the verse about work. It merges defiance with apathy and growing up.
FUCKING AMAZING SONG......LoveHATE
It's frustration ("I'm done") and apathy ("flip the switch" aka 'just kill me') about growing up and realizing that shit is the same every day (girlfriend, job, expectations...) and you can't do a fucking thing to change it no matter how much you hate it. Like the song says, "There is no revolution." Sad, but true as you'll all find out in a few more years.
this is shitnit
